071 Multi-party calculation
Grenadier, a special army active in the 17th century in Europe, these heroic warriors who threw grenades and incendiary bombs, once became kings on the battlefield for a period of time, and even the people were proud of grenadiers.
At that time, gunpowder technology was not mature. All powerful grenades were as big as small cannonballs, and their heavy size was not something that ordinary soldiers could throw. Therefore, at that time, only the strongest soldiers in Europe could play the role of grenades. In addition, grenades had to be close to the enemy and attacked at the shortest distance, which even more tests the courage of the warriors.
Gradually, grenadiers were equated with the two terms "strong" and "heroic". Later, due to the development of gunpowder technology, the size of grenadiers became smaller and smaller, and finally matured so that every soldier could easily throw it, which ended the history of grenadiers.
The grenade that Xiao Letian called out today can be said to be the most luxurious special forces in human history. It is actually all high-end Green Forest masters. More than a dozen guards with excellent light skills have torn a thin coat to pieces, exposed bamboo grenades tied around their waists, rushed to the shops on both sides and flew on the roofs.
No movie montage effect can describe the strange scene at that time. More than a dozen strong men actually flew out of the air with a light feeling, as if floating in the air. The incense burning on his hands was extremely bright in the wind, and bamboo grenades were on standby.
The grenadiers soon flew directly in front of the horse team. The silent soldiers took out their grenades without saying a word and ignited them and threw them into the horse team. The explosion occurred in an instant, and the rolling smoke rushed straight out as high as two floors.
"What is this?" Jiushuai was stunned at the time, because he only heard dull explosions and dim firelight, which was not the normal light and shadow effect. Updated as soon as possible.
Before Xiao Letian could answer, in an instant, more than 20 bamboo grenades were thrown into the horse team. Thick smoke rolled on the long street, and the violent coughing and the screams of the war horse Xilulu were connected.
"Cough cough cough... chili noodles...cough cough cough... choked me to death..."
"You... this is ill-ethical and smokey... cough cough..."
"Ah! The horse was shocked... Cough cough cough... My horse was shocked..."
Only then did everyone realize that what Xiao Letian used was not ordinary at all. These bamboo grenades were stuffed with pepper noodles and pepper noodles. When the smoke rose, even if people could tolerate it, the war horse would definitely not tolerate this stimulation.
The running horse had a strong lung capacity. Two taels of pepper surface rushed into the lungs in one breath. It was so exciting that the war horse was not scared. In an instant, more than one hundred Mongolian horses went crazy, jumping around the ground with joy, and no longer ran forward. The people who bumped left and right were overturned.
"Hahaha! It's so good..." Xiao Letian was excited and shouted, "It's so hot that I can blow it up! Eagle, I still have three of them here, I'll give you some fun... Hahaha"
Xiao Letian was like a child who had succeeded in his conspiracy. He pointed at Ma Bao, who was messy in the wind in the distance and cursed, "Idiot, you are awesome, are you mobilizing the horse team to hit me? Isn't this one you transferred to have more than one hundred pigs?"
Jiushuai looked at Xiao Letian helplessly. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lucky, your move is too dangerous, that is, you can use it here. If you go to the battlefield, such a cleverness will be of no use..."
After all, Zeng Guoquan was a leader of a military force, so he was a traitor at a glance. This kind of pepper grenade attack can only work in this relatively narrow environment. First of all, the weather is good today, without wind, rain or fog, and the dry air is conducive to the air and spread of smoke and dust.
In addition, the shops on both sides of the street also serve as a shield, which can concentrate smoke and dust in a relatively narrow space. If it is on an open battlefield, Xiao Letian's plan will be useless.
The second Japanese devil Xiao Letian was too lazy to listen to Zeng Guoquan's criticism. "I don't want to be a general. The field group's combat is your specialty. What I want is to save my life. As long as there is an effect today, it's enough... Brothers, give them three rows of guns and ask them to get out quickly..."
Before Xiao Letian finished speaking, Luo Huo could no longer wait for "preparation for three consecutive shots...the first discharge...the second discharge..." Under his command, thirty musketeers took turns shooting, and iron sand shot all over the sky.
There is no need to aim at this kind of battle. There is a thick smoke on the opposite side, and as long as the muskets calmly shoot flat. After nine rounds of volleys, the smoke and dust composed of pepper and pepper completely dissipates, and the long street is already silent.
After the smoke and dust completely dispersed, people discovered that the cavalry team that had just been arrogant had long disappeared. There was nothing on the ground except the corpses of more than twenty war horses and more than ten cavalry corpses. Looking further away, a black shadow was fleeing wildly, and they all hated their parents and gave birth to two legs.
"It's so boring, are you running away?" Xiao Letian's complaint made the merchants around him shudder. Ancestors, you were defeated by the Green Camp cavalry, but you still said boring? You are not satisfied with throwing more than ten lives on the street. Do you have to kill all those more than one hundred cavalry before you can be willing to do so?
At this point, the merchants were completely frightened. From that day on, all the merchants in Tanggu City surrendered under the baton of Lotte Foreign Company. No matter how many changes the business group had changed in the years that followed, the terrifying legend of Lotte Foreign Company became more and more popular. The business circle in Tanggu was unified by Xiao Lotte, and there was no rebellion until his death.
After packing up the cavalry team, everyone had no time to keep in mind the distance. The Ma Bao Xietai was silly and was lying around. Everyone walked into the alley and took the shortcut and rushed to the dock in Tanggu. The lucky number was right in front of everyone.
Now Lucky is the only merchant ship in the entire Tanggu Pier to open the pier. Captain Corsica was anxiously paced back and forth on the deck, and the brass telescope in his hand had already been squeezed out of water. The first update was made.
"Look, Captain! Isn't that Mr. Xiao Letian? They finally rushed out..." The lookout hand had seen Xiao Letian before, and he immediately noticed that the team breaking through the siege was shouting excitedly.
"Oh, God bless, respected Eastern scholar Xiao, the goddess of luck is by your side, get on the boat... Sailors, pick up your weapons and get off the boat to greet our guests..."
All the sailors on the Lucky merchant ship have now been armed. At the command of the captain, more than fifty musketeers walked down the gangway and formed a small defensive muskete array at the entrance of the gangway.
After a while, Xiao Letian's team finally rushed to the gangway entrance, and the scared merchants began to board the ship first. More and faster chapters are invited. On the high deck, Corsica was waving, "Oriental scholar Xiao... board the ship quickly, I have prepared the best wine for you, no thug will hurt you... Children, let the guests see our strength..."
While speaking, two black holes suddenly popped out of the mercedes on both sides of the deck of the merchant ship. They were two eighteen-pound cannons, which were the most powerful weapon on the merchant ship.
Xiao Letian waved his hand as soon as he saw it and said in skillful English, "No, no, Captain Corsica, this is the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty. If you open fire, it will cause diplomatic disputes. I can solve the problem here..."
But before Xiao Letian could make a promise, suddenly there were chaotic footsteps and a few dull gunshots on the street outside the pier, and there were vaguely many people roaring. Everyone was surprised, and suddenly rushed out of the alley and the street to suppress the six or seven hundred green camp soldiers. The leader was Lord Ma Bao of Xietai. Updated at the first time
The Xietai, who had injured his leg, was tied to the horse's back. His face was now covered with tears and snot. He was very scared. His whole body was trembling, but he was still roaring and directing the soldiers forward.
"Brothers... I, Ma Bao, have been very good to you over the years. This time it is related to everyone's life and death. I would rather destroy my family than reward you. For years of friendship, everyone rushed up and killed Xiao Letian and the bandits around him for me..."
Ma Bao can no longer care about much now. His family has borrowed 60,000 taels of silver from his family. In addition, he sold his property and followed the way of An Dehai. Although he has paid off his debts in recent years, his family is still poor and deserted. If he loses his job because of this riot, he will have no other way out except to die.
What's even more terrible is that Tanggu is a newly opened commercial port four years ago. The imperial court looked at it more important than the eyeballs, for fear of a little chaos. There is also a problem with the face of the Celestial Empire. If you can't handle it well this time and lose face in front of foreigners, then don't say that you are a bannerman, the emperor, the lord of the Eight Banners, will personally order the head to be cut off.
There is a more terrifying possibility. If the riots become more and more intense and eventually hurt the foreigners' property, it will give these foreigners the excuse to intervene. If the foreign soldiers fired fire and the merchant ships fired, then Ma Bao not only did not have enough life to compensate, but even their family would have to pay.
"Xiao Letian, you are so cruel. It's all because of you, you bastard, why are you so difficult to deal with? Why don't you stand there and let me kill you? Even if I die, I will take you back..."
"Brothers, they only have 200 people and only 30 muskets. We have 400 muskets, all imported foreign guns. I don't believe it, I can't beat them, so I rush..."
Seven hundred green camp soldiers fought against more than one hundred private soldiers, and four hundred musketeers fought against more than thirty ordinary bird guns. The fools could win this battle. In addition, Ma Bao broke the family reward, the reward rate had been increased to 40,000 taels of silver, which was enough for the group of green camp soldiers to work hard.
"Brothers, I, Ma Bao, swear here that after quelling the rebellion, I will not take any 400,000 silver dollars from Lotte's foreign company, and I will give it to everyone..." The Green Camp soldiers went completely crazy and rushed forward with a scream.
Captain Corsica stood on the deck and was standing high, and the situation on the battlefield was obvious at a glance. He was so scared that he was sweating coldly. "Mr. Xiao, please board the ship immediately. We must defend ourselves... Artillery preparation, musket team preparation..."
"Stop it, Corsica, stop it. This is the internal affairs of our Qing Dynasty. Even if I die, I will not allow you to fire a shot! Put your gangway away, I won't get on your ship..."
At this time, Xiao Letian looked at Jiushuai Zeng Guoquan with a cold expression, "Jiushuai, the matter has come to this point. If it continues, it will not be as simple as civilian change. Do you really want the Qing Dynasty to sign a humiliating treaty with foreigners? If you don't take action, you will definitely be on the historical sinner list..."
"Hiss..." Zeng Guoquan took a breath. He was so sad that he knew that he had been humiliated by Xiao Letian, the cunning fox. He had to take action today, no matter what, otherwise his brother would not be able to get through that level.
